Sporting News' Week 12 Roster

To give you an advantage, here are our picks for Week 12 with a few reasons why we chose them. Use as many of these picks as you'd like and good luck this week:

QB1: Eli Manning, Giants ($12,023). Manning lit up Dallas in Week 1 and we're not expecting much resistance against a reeling Cowboys D.

QB2: Tom Brady, Patriots ($14,267). It's going to be a shootout between Brady and Peyton Manning; we went with the cheaper option.

RB1: Matt Forte, Bears ($13,078). Chicago will feed the ball to Forte relentlessly against a weak Rams run D.

RB2: Andre Brown, Giants ($10,680). The Cowboys run D is also in shambles. It'll be a big day for Brown and this is a great value.

WR1: Demaryius Thomas, Broncos ($12,476). We still wanted to get a piece of Peyton's stats at New England.

WR2: Dez Bryant, Cowboys ($13,208). And we wanted to buy into Tony Romo's potential explosion against the Giants.

FLEX1: Shane Vereen, Patriots ($9,543). Vereen is already back as a key weapon in the Pats offense, and he'll help out in a variety of ways in this half-PPR format.

FLEX2: Andre Ellington, Cardinals ($6,629). This seems cheap for an explosive, pass-catching back like Ellington.

TE: Charles Clay, Dolphins ($5,607). The Panthers pass D is legit, but it has had lapses against tight ends. Clay could be Ryan Tannehill's best friend on Sunday.

DEF: St. Louis Rams ($2,370). We're going cheap here, but we like the Rams' big-play ability on defense against Josh McCown and on special teams with Tavon Austin.
